Hi everyone. Your dear editor here. You may have noticed the news stands seeming empty the past few days. Of course, our thanksgiving celebrations are partly to blame, but most of the blame falls squarely on us. We became backlogged by an investigation and chose not to report for fear of interfering with police investigations.
The Noctowne Nightly's office was broken into five nights ago, in a manner similar to the Public Library and the Nightwalker Bar. Though there were few thefts, the perpetrator stole a set of documents detailing our distribution deals throughout town. This isn't generally hidden information; aside from a few offices which want private issues, the rest of the stands are all in public places or inside prominent businesses.
It was under the request of Investigator Drogo that we did not issue a warning. Police presence near the news stands increased, however there was no increase in unusual behaviour. Nor have there been any break-ins at locations where issues were privately delivered.
The police are, frankly, at an impasse. The attacks are happening seemingly at random, with small thefts of documentation. What's more, is that little evidence is being left behind. Had they not taken the list, we would simply move on to other news in the time being, however it now appears this individual has interest in readership.
Readers, I would like to apologize for our collective inability to apprehend this thief. Starting today, all our investigative reporters are looking into the incident, and we are fully cooperating with the police.
More news will follow̸͔̫͙͎ͮͥ.
